Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 86

There is a folk proverb: "Small cold and big cold, it will be cold without wind."

It's a severe cold today, and every drop of water turns into ice.

The faucet in the pool was frozen and no water could come out. When Xu Deyong got up early and brushed his teeth, he boiled it with hot water. When the cold water came out, it seemed to be "smoke."

Later, when Xu Deyong was exercising, he "exhaled his breath and turned it into a sword", which was really impressive.

He Yuzhu, holding his head against the chicken coop and hunching his neck, also came out to exercise.

He took a sharp breath and suddenly became energetic.

He glanced at Xu Deyong with goo in his eyes and said, "I heard from my sister that you were in the limelight last night."

Xu Deyong denied: "I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

"Hey!" He Yuzhu curled his lips and said with some disdain: "You are still pretending, isn't it because I didn't see it? Who in the courtyard doesn't know? You even asked three uncles to line up to apologize one by one. You are so awesome...!"

"cough……."

Before he finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai opened the door and came out of the room with a urinal in his hand. He coughed and looked at He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu's face suddenly showed a look of sarcasm and said: "Master, you got up so early!"

Yi Zhonghai said angrily: "I'm so stuffed with shit that it won't feel good until I pull it out."

Xu Deyong couldn't help but smile. This old man was quite cruel when it came to hurting people. He also said hello casually, otherwise Yi Zhonghai would think he was going to be in trouble!
"Yes." Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "You guys should exercise, young people have great firepower."

After saying that, he walked away slowly.

He Yuzhu said with a gloomy look on his face: "Hey, it seems I'm holding it in, but I didn't expect that the first master is quite petty."

Xu Deyong said: "You are very narrow-minded, so your father calls you Silly Zhu."

He Yuzhu suddenly became unhappy and said: "You are not allowed to mention my father, and you are not allowed to call me any nickname!"

Xu Deyong said with a half-smile but not a smile: "I didn't yell, I was just making a statement. Why, do you feel inferior?"

He Yuzhu scratched his neck and said: "What a joke, who has low self-esteem?"

Xu Deyong said leisurely: "If you are young and promising and don't feel inferior, you will definitely have a lot of potential partners."

"Don't talk nonsense." He Yuzhu glared and said: "Whoever has a lot of objects, I will only take one!"

Xu Deyong: "..."

This guy misses the point, but he seems to be getting it right.

"Hey." Xu Deyong sighed and shook his head: "If you want to find a partner, you have to cut your hair first."

He Yuzhu said: "You don't have a partner either, so don't talk about me here."

Okay, this guy just misses the point.

Xu Deyong continued to exercise and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

You ignored him, but he climbed up the pole again. He Yuzhu came closer and said, "Hey, Xu Deyong, what kind of achievements have you made? Tell me about it. I can make one if you can't keep it all."

"Go on, don't disturb my exercise." Xu Deyong said: "Also, in view of your previous performance, I have great hesitation about inviting you to dinner during the New Year..."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he immediately said anxiously: "Don't worry, Deyong, no matter what happens in the future, I will definitely be on your side and I will never take pleasure in your misfortune."

Xu Deyong said: "I'll think about it. There are still a few days before the Chinese New Year. Let's see how you perform."

He Yuzhu suddenly felt a little wilted.

Damn it, this kid is trembling again. When will he be able to make his mark?
After coming over for a while, Xu Deyong finished his exercise and opened the blind box with a thought.

"Snapped."

Two familiar strips fall into the blind box space.

cigarette!
Just two Pegasus cigarettes.

This brand of cigarettes was once called "Siye's cigarettes".

What is Si Ye?It was the New Fourth Army during the Anti-Japanese War.

This brand was founded and produced by Xin Sijun at that time, and it can be said that it made great contributions to its development. Most of their equipment and medicines were purchased with the profits from Pegasus cigarettes.

These cigarettes now cost [-] cents a pack, which is the same as the [-] cents Daqianmen brand cigarettes. It is not something that ordinary people can smoke regularly.

Of course, now cigarettes can be sold in pieces, and you can buy one for just over a penny and smoke it.

After eating in the morning, Xu Deyong had another task, sending his grandma to work.Although the neighborhood committee is right on the street and not far away on foot, Xu Deyong insisted on sending it off.

He could go anywhere in the morning, and if he could get some noodles for his grandma, why not do it.

After Xu Nan's house was tidied up, the grandfather and grandson closed the door and walked out.

"Aunt Nan, go to work!" the eldest mother said with a smile.

Xu Nanshi smiled and narrowed her eyes together and said: "Don't say that, his aunt, it doesn't count, it doesn't count, I'm just a temporary worker, helping out."

At this time, Qin Huairu came out when she heard the commotion, and said with a smile on her round face: "Ms. Nan is humble, and this temporary job is not just for anyone who wants to do it. If you ask me, you have the ability, and what you said yesterday is quite leadership-like. Fan.”

Everyone loves to hear good words.

Xu Nanshi smiled and waved her hands and said: "His sister-in-law, please don't praise me as an old woman. Don't say such things outside. I blush when I hear it. I just took advantage of my grandson."

Qin Huairu said: "If you don't tell me, you still have to be talented. Aunt Nan, we have a lot of good girls in Qinjiatun. If you don't dislike the rural people, I will go home to help you during the Chinese New Year."

When Xu Nanshi heard this, she became more energetic and said: "The relationship is good, if the girl can be half as good as you and run the house."

Xu Deyong: "..."

My sister-in-law Qin, thank you!

This girl wanted to ease the relationship between the two families at first sight, so she focused on her own marriage, and it was up to her to decide whether it would succeed or not.

Qin Huairu glanced at Xu Deyong and said, "Now is a new era. Marriage is free. It depends on whether both parties like it or not."

Xu Nanshi nodded and said: "His sister-in-law is right. In short, you are taking care of this matter. If it is really going to happen, your matchmaking gift will be indispensable."

"Hey, then I'll help you when I get back to the village."

Xu Deyong couldn't help but urge: "Grandma, let's go quickly, don't be late."

"Okay, okay, let's go first."

The grandfather and grandson left and greeted the third aunt and others in the front yard before going out and getting in the car to leave.

It was extremely cold, and few people came out to ride in the car. Xu Deyong wandered around all morning before picking up two guests.

He passed by Xueru Silk Shop at the front door and didn't go in. This woman is too smart. Some things have to be let nature take their own course. You can't force things by forcing them on a pole!
When passing the tavern, Xu Deyong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

I saw a white cloth hanging on the door.

Mr. He left anyway, partly because he was forced by He Yong, and partly because of his stubbornness.

Hey, this Xu Hui really has no relatives in the city. Her only brother is far away in Niulan Mountain. His family has brewing roots there for generations, so he will not come to Sijiu City.

And how cruel He Yongqiang was, his nominal father and actual uncle passed away without even coming to see him off.

Then he came back to fight for the tavern shamelessly...

Xu Deyong shook his head, silently mourning for Mr. He for a moment in his heart, and then left on three wheels. He might come back when the tavern opens in a few days.

At noon, I ordered a bowl of hot "noodle tea" at a snack bar in an alley. I held the bowl in one hand, raised my mouth against the edge of the bowl, and while it was hot, I drank it while circling it. This is called Ter'er drinking alone.

After one bowl, all the internal organs are warmed up. If you don't feel satisfied, you will have another bowl.

After eating and drinking, Xu Deyong took his guests to the Beihai Ice Rink shortly after leaving.

Now that I'm somewhere, I might as well take out my wooden skates from the pocket on the back of my tricycle and skate around a few times.

As he was skating, he felt someone approaching. He turned his head and smiled and said, "Okay, Gangzi, I made my own wooden skates and put them on!"

Gangzi, who had a sinister face, didn't look like a good person when he smiled. He smiled and complimented: "It's all your advice, Master Yong. Look at it, I will be filial to you during the New Year."

Xu Deyong raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, does that mean the business is good?"

Gangzi said: "It's okay, we have a lot of people to spare. After making a few pairs of sample shoes, we go to various ice rinks and outdoor rinks in the city, and we will always meet a few people who ask how much they are willing to spend."

Xu Deyong nodded and said: "That's not bad. This business only lasts for one or two months in winter. Although you won't make a fortune, you can make a little money once you get it done and live a good year."

"Hey, what Yong Ye said is true." Gangzi said: "One more thing, the other party is willing to replace the three-wheeled cart. When are you free in the next two days, I will take you to have a look. If you like it, Just go to the police station and change your name.”

Xu Deyong slowly stopped and said: "Okay, it's better to choose a different day than to hit it. How about we go over and take a look later?"

Gangzi hesitated for a moment and nodded: "No problem, Master Yong is indeed very resolute in his work..."
